One of three women wanted for allegedly beating a woman and stealing her cell phone in Rockaway Park was arrested last week in connection with the robbery, according to police.

Amanda Trujillo, 19, of 51-49 Almeda Avenue, and two accomplices allegedly jumped out of a Jeep on January 23 at the intersection of Beach 105 Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard at about 2:00 p.m., punched the victim in her face several times and then stole her cell phone. The three women then got back into their green Jeep and sped away.
